The two castles of William the Conqueror at Falaise and Caen are really interesting parts of the local history, with of course their historic link to
England. The Chateau at Caen has two museums - the Museé des Beaux Arts features a summer exhibition as well as a permanent 17th and 18th century one.﻿
